Greenside, warn and clear. Lots of birdsong, goldfinches, lots of chiffchaff. Stonechat, wrens, tits, and more. Butterflies, peacocks, small tortoiseshell & orange tips. Primroses are out.

Warm dull with a bit of drizzle this morning. Brightened by a charm of goldfinch feeding on burdock. A couple of minutes later excitement when a crow chased a sparrow hawk overhead.

Greenside Reservoir Late Afternoon (quarter past 3). Saw quite a few fieldfares on the way up the path.
